3. Copy the firmware files from the pub directory to the /tftpboot directory, using the S8300
Media Server command line interface.
To copy firmware files to the /tftpboot directory of an S8300 Media Server, do the following:
a. Access the server's command line interface using an SSH client, like PuTTY, and an IP
address of 192.11.13.6.
b. Log in as craft.
c. At the Linux prompt, type cd /var/home/ftp/pub, and press Enter.
d. The Linux prompt reappears. The current directory has changed to /var/home/ftp/pub.
e. At the Linux prompt, type cp <firmware_filename> /tftpboot, and press Enter to
copy a single firmware file to the /tftpboot directory. To copy multiple firmware files (most
firmware files have an .fdl suffix), use the command cp *.fdl /tftpboot.
f. The Linux prompt reappears. The firmware file or files have been copied to the /tftpboot
directory.
g. Repeat step 4, if necessary, for other firmware files you want to install.
h. At the Linux prompt, type cd /tftpboot.
i. The Linux prompt reappears. The current directory has changed to /tftpboot.
j. At the Linux prompt, type ls, and press Enter.
k. A list of files in the directory appears.
l. Check the directory to make sure the firmware files you want to install are listed.
Determining which firmware to install on the G700
Conduct the following procedure to compare software versions running on the G700 processors
and media modules with the versions in you planning documents. If the versions do not match,
you need to install the new firmware for those components.
To determine if new firmware for the P330 stack processor is necessary
1. Access the stack processor. See one of the following:
Logging in to the P330 Stack Processor with a Direct Connection to the S8300 Services
●
Port

Logging in to the P330 Stack Processor with a LAN Connection
●
Logging in to the P330 Stack Processor with a Direct Serial Connection
●
Logging in to the P330 Stack Processor with Device Manager
●
2. At either the P330-1(super)# or P330-1(configure)# prompt, type dir.
The system displays the directory list of software for the P330 stack processor.
